The Mystical Realm Art Show

This show’s focus will be based on the magical land where Unicorns roam free on the grassy plains with the Jackalope’s. Fairies and Gnomes tend to the wild flowers and mushrooms of the forest where witches live in bone and candy houses. Trolls hide under bridges to torment travelers, troublesome spirits haunt rivers and lakes to lure passersby to a watery grave. Narwhals fight epic battles with ancient creatures in the deeps of the oceans and the castles in the sky float by without taking notice.

This sounds like a fun show. I look forward to submitting my work! It’s not often a show with this theme comes around. I just finished two wood nymph drawings (for another show) which are posted on my blog: http://bfreestudios.blogspot.com/
